Welcome Distraction

Walk | Talk | Think

The strangely warm temperature was incredibly inconvenient for the white she-wolf with the black tail. Things were already horrible as they were without needing the extra annoyance to add to it. No brother, no friend, and a bad time of the year. If it were not for her consistent wandering and refusal to rest longer than was necessary Yin would likely have broken by now. She was not used to these feelings of loneliness and longing and wished desperately for them to go away so that she could go back to feeling like her old self and not this unstable, jittery mess. And goodness did she feel that way! It was driving her crazy.

Strong, pristine white paws carried her at a lope across the snowy landscape, driving herself to keep moving and racing on despite the heat of her exertion combined with what was already in the air. Air was dragged in deep breaths as she ran, testament to the reckless pace she had been keeping for some time now, and it was only when the tall wall loomed with a large, stretching shadow overhead that she allowed herself to stop. In all her time of being this far north, she could not recall having once been here to see this strange formation. It looked quite out of place here, solitary and cold. Pausing in the snow to catch her breath, she found the curious sight of it a welcome distraction from her irritability.

But the stillness aided in revealing something else to her: just how tired she had grown from racing about so carelessly. Despite the cold cast by the shadow that extended from the Wall, Yin padded slowly toward it to curl up within the snow at its base, tucking her nose beneath her black tail as she allowed her green and blue eyes to close restfully.
